YouTube bbcode question

Post by ParLawGod »

So...

My YouTube embed bbcode (phpBB3.3.0) works just fine for getting videos to pop up in topics/replies. HOWEVER, is there a way to get it to work with a video that starts at a specific point?

WORKS with bbcode: https://youtu.be/a-7XWhyvIpE
DOES NOT WORK with bbcode: https://youtu.be/a-7XWhyvIpE?t=53

Has this been done before? I did some searches, but came up dry.

Thank you!

Far far easier to just use the media embed extension. Not many use BBcode for that any more.

It does exactly what you're asking without the need for BBcode. You just post the link and it does the rest.

Also embeds a multitude of other medias.

I have that extension installed, and neither of the links above work in it.

Works just fine on my test board. You can see it's ready to play at 53secs.
Try deleting the youtube BBcode in case it's conflicting with the extension.

Correct, I went through all of that and have them checked appropriately.
